Xbox Offline Play - Does Xbox Work Without Internet Connection - Disconnect Xbox From the Internet

I've heard people ask, can you use an Xbox offline? The answer is yes! You can definitely use an Xbox offline without an internet connection. To do that, go to Settings. Then select Network Settings. Here, choose Go Offline. To reconnect to the internet, repeat the process and select Go Online.
But there are a few things you need to know if you want to take your Xbox offline. The initial setup of a new brand new Xbox does require an internet connection. That's because you need to create at least one user profile or you won't be able to finish the Xbox setup. For this it needs to connect to the Xbox servers. Once a profile is created, you can then set the Xbox to offline.
And here's what you can do on the Xbox when disconnected from the internet. The most important thing to know is that you will be able to sign into your Xbox profile to play and change local console settings. To play downloaded games, your console has to be assigned as your Home Xbox. In addition, you can only play games that don't require an internet connection. For example, you won't be able to play Fortnite because it can only be played online. However, you won't have any issues playing disc based games. But the fact is, fewer and fewer people own game discs these days. You'll still be able to save clips and screenshots plus your achievements will be saved locally depending on how much hard drive space you have. But it's a good idea to occasionally go online to sync game progress, achievements and game clips to the cloud.
When you do decide to go offline, Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass will not work anymore. That's because those are online services. One more thing to know is that you won't be able to redeem any codes for Xbox Gift Cards, games, movies, DLCs and other items. So while you are able to use an Xbox offline, functionality will be limited while disconnected from the internet. The only time the Xbox really needs to be connected to the internet is during the initial setup.

    The thing that pisses me off is. I bought MF Madden on the Microsoft store. It’s a game you can play without internet in reality. But you need an internet connection to get into the god damn game. I paid Money for that shit. My statement has nothing to do with not having internet connection it’s about wtf is. You shouldn’t need to have an internet connection to PLAY a game you paid for.

    This is not clear if you can play offline or not (I don't own an Xbox so it is important to know). Seems like when you start any game you must be online then while the game still running if the internet is disconnected you still can play, otherwise you can start a game without internet because you cannot access your saved game (or may be can only start the new game). There is conflicting information of what you can do. The comments seem to give a more concrete answers and the experiences than the video itself. Basically, MS just wanted to squeeze $60 or more out of each Xbox owner per month, don't they? They give you more choices or they are force you to buy more choices. Clearly, they force you to buy..............

    but in fairness to Microsoft Sony does the same, sure the way they go about business is different than Microsoft, but ps4, ps5, xbox one, xbox series games require an internet connection in order to install them. because usually an update of some kind happens the first you fire one up, now once the update is complete and the dev who made the game gets all your information, then you can play after. once a game is installed you can play it anytime, but if you have other games that are not installed, you can only install them with an internet connection. with the xbox your game gets installed in two places, your main drive and the cloud. your right in that they are about money, of course that's why they charge for gold and gamepass if you want that. but even your game library won't show up offline, only games you currently have installed appear. we haven't had true consoles since the 360 and PS3, and that was awhile ago.

    Ive had problems even when having physical discs, almost feeling that you don't own them. I guess I'm just getting old and any issue that comes along is harder to fix than the good old days of just having a Nintendo 64 playing 007 with friends, and internet not being an issue. Feel like these consoles need to be boycott, but again I'm an old dude with no patience for these issues and with limited mind to waste my time in something I rarely do, that is playing games using these consoles.

    Good video BUT to say "Who owns disc anymore" is something your speculating or reading some fabricated poll. I OWN alot of disc games and to say not many do? You really don't have ANY idea and should say this is your opinion. Lastly IF you own a DIGITAL ONLY version of the xbox, playstation or own digital games then they are NOT yours, will never be and all you have done is wasted money. I know the debate about dics and not owning them blah,blah BUT! The disc I own no matter what anyone says and can play it 9 out of 10 times without connecting to the internet. I think it's sad when NEW gamers are accepting this practice and calling themselves gamers. Sorry, you may accept owning nothing BUT I will do everything to preserve the amazing games I own with their stories that are something is the reason gamers play.

    Yes unfortunately.. BUT.. You will be able to install/launch any "SeriesX" only games, at the moment there are very few tho (ex: Judgment, SoundMind, some sports games, etc) The sad part is here: For any XboxOne games, you'll be able to install the game but launching the game will ONLY be possible once you've connect to the internet. (Just for the first time) Even the one that has SmartDelivery (ex: ForzaHorizon5, Cyberpunk, Farcry6, etc) Btw, I do own the SeriesX and I dont have internet at home at the moment so yeah.. it kinda suck, I hope MS is working on something here cuz it gets really anoying everytime I buy a new game

Click intant sign in and make sure it's linked to your primary profile. 3. Click control link and also make your primary profile is linked to that as well. 4.

    I purchased the newer Xbox for Killer Instinct. I've heard stories of Microsoft reversing games so that even with the hard copy, you are barred. Therefore, I refuse to connect to the internet ever since picking up a second hand console and establishing my account that required the internet (seems very stupid). Things I have noticed the Xbox One is unable to do while offline: - allow me to play an audio CD. Not sure if it can play a DVD either but that is not possible either. - allow me to save a clip to view later. - allow me to play online features of the game obviously. But, that is game specific. Fortunately, I have access to enough of the game that I'm satisfied but I get this nagging feeling. That should Microsoft abandon the console wars, the lack of online servers will make games obsolete.

    not exactly what i was looking for, i was looking for something that related to mobile hotspot since where i live there's no router in the home. so i had to use my galaxy s21 network hotspot and share it, but to answer, you can use the xbox offline, but even if you make it your home your still limited to what you can do. if you already have a few games installed, you can play them without an internet connection, but if you want to install other games, you can't do it offline. I've tried it that way, doesn't work even if you have physical games. because the xbox one is not truly backwards compatible, how were able to play old original xbox and 360 games are through the cloud which runs through their server. so basically in order to get a game to run on the xbox one, it needs to read the license, and that information has to be sent to Microsoft and that's how it work. now xbox one games will run just fine since there made for the console, but alot of games made specifically for xbox one and Series X/S usually require an update. there's really no such thing these days as a true offline game, of course games that have multiplayer need the internet, but even alot of single player games do to. because oftentimes the developer for the game has some information the first time you start the game, and you can't skip past that information. now once you register and update then you can play, but all games require an update. with 360 games it's a little different with them, because there are no updates for older games, all that's required is to install it, but any games bought digitally from the store will be in your games library, but you can't go into game library without the internet. i tried it that way, but it only shows the games you have installed.

    The fix is to buy a PS4 or PS5, instead.

    What happens in the future if the server is gone and you have never made a profile and just got an XBOX Series X and a profile setup was never made? Will you still need internet connection or will it still work if the server is down in the future? Can you make a profile offline? Can you skip making the profile and just play a video game disc? Do video game disc need to be install using the internet or does a video game disc install offline? Is installing a video game from a video game disc required or you can just play from the video game disc?
